Geoff:
But the books, which are the source material for the films, do reference the dates. 
Although they do not specifically tie into the real world, since they are
contemporary, it's rather interesting to try to see which parallel real world events 
were occurring.

Intriguing why, seeing as you don't appear to be interested in the relevance to 
the real world, you were the group member who raised the question of Voldemort's 
death and the DH dates.
